Imatinib Adherence and Persistence in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Belgium: Evidence from Real-World Data.
Imatinib adherence and persistence are key components of the successful treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). In Belgium, there is no study assessing these behaviors at a national level. Our study aimed to provide the first nationwide measure and to identify associated pharmacy-based predictors (age, gender, comorbidities). We also assessed mortality and transplantation incidence according to adherence status. ⋯ This Belgian nationwide representative study revealed a critical low level of imatinib adherence, which decreased over time even though persistence was high at six months. We pinpointed pharmacy-based predictors that were easily identifiable by health care stakeholders in order to undertake interventions to improve adherence.
